Deficit monsoon
Consolation rains? A view of the cloud-covered Bangalore skyline through the raindrop-flecked glass window of a car, on Tuesday.

This year, only three of the 30 districts have received excess rainfall, while seven districts have received normal rainfall between July 31 and August 6. — G.R.N. Somashekar
